Megadeth - Lying In State lyrics

What we are witnessing is the decline of western civilization

Crushing our potential and piling it on, how will history portray us?

Attack the family, attack their faith and dreams

Attack the body and the head will fall

A lasting legacy or ruin brought in haste?

The enemy of truth is lying there in state

Another day, another manufactured crisis keeping the people distracted

There's no one playing by the rules anymore, how will history portray us?

A broken backbone with nothing left to lose?

That hate the sight of all the ones that do?

A lasting legacy or ruin brought in haste?

The enemy of truth is lying there in state

A shiny new agenda, birthed from a depraved mind

Of failing us on purpose, to culturally sanitize

Its opiates for the masses under cloak as hope and change

The "new normal" or just more of the same?

The perfect plan

Must have an alibi

And the perfect pawn

To spew the party line

Of the perfect falsehood

Spoke a thousand times

The perfect words

Cover the greatest crime

Hell is turning itself inside out

To lead its path up to meet us

And we deliberately take a step,

One foot closer to the grave
